1. An LED-based light comprising:
- an elongate housing having longitudinal axis and a vertical axis orthogonal to the longitudinal axis, the housing defining an outer periphery of the LED-based light and a cavity,wherein the housing is defined by a base, a first canted outer wall, and a second canted outer wall,wherein each of the base, the first canted outer wall, and the second canted outer wall defines a substantially identical arced profile, andwherein the base, the first canted outer wall, and the second canted outer wall substantially form a triangle;
an LED circuit board on which a plurality of LEDs are located, the LED circuit board positioned within the cavity, wherein the LED circuit board faces an apex of the triangle; and
end caps positioned at opposite ends of the housing, wherein each end cap comprises a respective bi-pin connector protruding from the end cap, the bi-pin connectors being compatible with a fluorescent light fixture.
